‹ Migration complete… I hope •
No sooner have I set up a brand-spanking new site, than I am suddenly too busy to do anything with it. Not only that, but I also gave myself a challenge to come up with an example of something better than the butt-ugly facelets/JSF templating, and I’ve had no time to do anything much about that either. I have, however, decided that trying to hack together Amazon page would be a good test of the layout concepts, especially taking into consideration how busy the Amazon front page is. So I’ll document the process as I go… thinking aloud, so to speak.
I have hit one minor snag already. I’ve used rparsexml.py in my hacked together template engine (a piece of python code that will admittedly never win any code-elegance competitions), only to discover (RTFM) it dumps html comment blocks — which is perhaps only a pain if you happen to wrap your embedded styles in comments. So I haven’t entirely convinced myself that it’s not worth going back and revisiting the code with a better xml parser, motivation being in general short supply at the moment…
